☂️ Move the material and cupertino packages outside of Flutter

This issue tracks the work to formally decouple the material and cupertino libraries from the core Flutter framework and establish them as standalone, first-party packages on pub.dev. ➡️ **📄 [Read more about our plan.](https://docs.google.com/document/d/189AbzVGpxhQczTcdfJd13o_EL36t-M5jOEt1hgBIh7w/edit?usp=sharing)** ⬅️ This strategic transition will make Flutter's core lighter and more flexible, accelerate design library updates, and give developers more control over their app's dependencies. The work will be managed through a deliberate, three-phased approach to ensure a stable and predictable migration for the entire ecosystem. The sub-issues listed below track the specific tasks for each phase of this project. ### 📣 To provide feedback: - Generally? **Here.** - On critical refactoring of code out of material/cupertino before decoupling: - https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/53059 - On net-new additions of core components: - https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/97496 - On the new packages: - https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/172932 - On future deprecation and removal: - https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/172942 --- <details> <summary> OP </summary> ## Use case - Long update cycle - To get the new version - you need to update the version of Flutter - Random imports - Components for other platforms are separate from Flutter ([fluent](https://pub.dev/packages/fluent), [macos_ui](https://pub.dev/packages/ma
